Background / History

Chen Changan is the Chen Family’s Old Ancestor, though he initially appears as an exceptionally handsome young man with unremarkable visible cultivation. In Yan Gui City, he directs the Chen Family’s response against the Xu and Ning families, and his Transcendent Realm status shocks Governor Wu Chengfeng and Nan Xiangtian. He has memories reaching back at least a thousand years and recalls witnessing the duel between Lin Xiangliu and Wu Mingdao with Da Huang. 11

His early reputation is built as much on mystery as on strength. He repeatedly survives attacks from opponents far above his apparent cultivation, leading others to assume he is concealing his true realm. In reality, at one point he cannot freely attack; he allows a newly ascended Great Emperor to strike him three times, remains unharmed, and wins when the opponent surrenders out of fear. 73 82 106

After fusing multiple Fetal Pearls, Chen Changan develops new powers and begins moving through increasingly powerful realms. He becomes associated with Luoshen Palace, takes disciples including Li Qiye and Ye Zhi Qiu, establishes influence in the Immortal Realm, and later enters the Divine Realm. 141 247 263 534 612

Following his rise in the Divine Realm, he supports the Divine Sword Sect with Divine Artifacts and cultivation resources, while his identity as the Old Ancestor of the Artifact Craftsmen Alliance brings the sect considerable influence. 650 666

Chen Changan later returns to the Chen Family after a long absence, protects them from the Lin Family, and destroys the Lin Family after its Old Ancestor refuses to explain Lin Yichen’s incomplete Soul. 773 793

In the True Realm and Nine Profound Domain, he gains prominence as the Imperial Pavilion’s rightful Young Master and becomes known for confronting powerful factions, including Junxin Pavilion. He ultimately performs Sword Body Integration, absorbs a thousand-meter giant sword, and is recognized as the Changan Sword God. 1198 1310 1658 1740

He can be shameless and manipulative toward enemies or people with poor character, but he is generous to companions, disciples, and factions under his protection. 356 612 666 1723 1836
